Midstate Ballerz 17U Select Team


Recommended Posts

Although I have not heard if the Midstate Ballerz 17-U Select has played well to not to start the AAU season, I know they will be tough with the guard tandem from Clinton High School (Jonathan Dye and Jordan Dixon). Dye is going to be one of the top 2 guards in East TN and Dixon continues to improve daily. Looking at the 17-U Ballerz Elite team, I feel as though Dye and Dixon would be excellent backups or complimentary players to the likes of Willie Kemp, Deon Gaines, and Brandon Evans.

 

If this move is made, I feel as though the Midstate Ballerz 17-U Elite team will have enough depth and great guard play to place high in both the nationals and state, along with playing well in the showcase tournaments! Something to think about!

On paper the Ballerz select team is as good as most 17u teams around the state. They have good size, athletic ability, shooters, and many underrated players listed on thier roster. Should be another banner year for the Ballerz program.

Once chemistry is acheived, the Ballerz Select team is going to be very good, and will have a great chance to showcase themselves in front of college coaches in July...

 

As for the Elite, there are just too many guards to move everyone to the Elite... Last weekend, Kemp, Gaines, Evans, Mack Gardner, Jeremy Jones, Barry Stewart, Josh Mack, and Josh Johnson all played well at the guard position, proving an inredible amount of depth at the guard position...

Midstate Ballerz Select really came together this weekend. Wins over Memphis Tigers 86-62, TN Flash 67-51, and Nashville Stallions 70-69 in OT. Different leading scorer each game. Wonderful balance throughout the weekend. All players were contributing in some form or fashion.

 

Josh Johnson, 17.0 pts

Cody Davis, 12.0

Marq Murden, 9.0 in two games

Ryan Pamplin, 6.3

Rusty Dotson, 5.7

Warren Swann, 5.3

Jonathon Dye, 5.3

Adam Wood, 5.0

Jordan Dixon, 4.7

Darius Bagwell, 3.7

Curtis McCord, 3.3

Freeman Pinkney, 1.7

 

Great showing for all players. Pinkney is a wonderful pass-first point guard who brought the crowd to its feet numerous times with no-look passes. Jordan Dixon is a lock-down defensive guard who distributes the ball well. Adam Wood, in his first AAU action, almost brought down the house with an alley-oop barely missed against the Tigers. Jonathon Dye is the engine keeping the team running. Curtis McCord is a wonderful shooter. Darius Bagwell is a smart point guard who led the team in steals for the weekend. Warren Swann is a 6'6" guard who has to play out of position, but shot 100% from 3-point land this weekend. Rusty Dotson is a post who can finish around the basket with either hand, as back-to-back left-handed jump hooks showed against the Tigers. Ryan Pamplin is a warrior inside having to play against much larger centers. Marq Murden gave the team the defensive lift it needed Saturday, along with four consecutive clutch free throws against the Stallions. Cody Davis lit up the Tigers for 4 threes on his way to 22 points, game-high for the weekend. Josh Johnson led the team all weekend with 12 points in the fourth quarter and overtime against the Stallions.

 

Congratulations, Select, keep it going.

    • Had what I believed would’ve been a good one hired but he showed up and smelled the cooking going on and said no thanks. 
    • Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.  
    • I think we are conducting interviews now since we have so many wanting to come to school here and play for a real team with a chance to play in front of lot's of fan's and have a chance to win a championship every year.  
    • Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.
